Those with a passion for sketching, conceptualizing, and refining ideas will find the course offers the guidance and industry knowledge necessary to transform concepts into innovative and functional products.

This module provides a comprehensive foundation in product design principles, historical context, and mechanical logic. By mastering design strategies, designers can innovate more effectively and responsibly, ensuring their work is both impactful and future-ready. You will learn about concepts and principles of industrial design, historical of Development and influential movements, mechanical thinking and logic, principles of Ergonomics and human factors, sustainable design: environmental impacts of products and Design strategies for modularity, disassembly, reusing, and recycling

SKETCHING 

Sketching serves as a primary tool for visualizing and communicating ideas quickly and effectively. It fosters creativity, helps in exploring multiple design concepts, and facilitates problem-solving. Sketching also aids in refining details, developing form, and understanding proportions, which are essential for creating innovative and functional designs. 

CAD
Computer-Aided Design is an essential tool. It enables precise and efficient creation, modification, and optimization of designs. CAD software facilitates detailed 3D modeling, allowing designers to visualize and analyze complex geometries and assemblies. It enhances accuracy, reduces errors, and streamlines the transition from concept to production. Additionally, CAD improves communication through detailed visual representations, and integrates seamlessly with manufacturing processes like 3D printing and CNC machining, making it a vital tool for modern industrial designers. It’s also at the base of every well done render. 

RENDERING
Photorealistic renders are crucial, allowing designers to visualize the final product accurately before manufacturing. High quality renders make presenting ideas to clients, investors, and team members more compelling and understandable. They are invaluable for marketing, as they can be used in brochures and online platforms to showcase the product, generating interest and feedback. They also help validate design choices, ensuring the product meets aesthetic and functional requirements. By identifying potential design issues early, they save time and costs associated with physical prototyping. Additionally, they enable designers to experiment with different iterations, materials, and settings, leading to more refined and optimised products, enhancing communication and decision-making in the design process.
